We make a complete pole analysis of the reflection factors of the boundary scaling Lee-Yang model. In the process we uncover a number of previously unremarked mechanisms for the generation of simple poles in boundary reflection factors,…

We consider the properties of the bootstrap as a tool for inference concerning the eigenvalues of a sample covariance matrix computed from an $n\times p$ data matrix $X$. We focus on the modern framework where $p/n$ is not close to 0 but…

We study the affine $A_{n-1}^{(1)}$ Toda fields with boundary reflection. Our approach is based on the free field approach. We construct free field realizations of the boundary state and its dual. For an application of these realizations,…

We study the ground state energy of integrable $1+1$ quantum field theories with boundaries (the genuine Casimir effect). In the scalar case, this is done by introducing a new, ``R-channel TBA'', where the boundary is represented by a…

The paper is devoted to the Hamiltonian treatment of classical and quantum properties of Liouville field theory on a timelike strip in 2d Minkowski space. We give a complete description of classical solutions regular in the interior of the…

We review the application of the spectral zeta-function to the 1- loop properties of quantum field theories on manifolds with boundary, with emphasis on Euclidean quantum gravity and quantum cosmology. As was shown in the literature some…

Topologically ordered quantum spin systems have become an area of great interest, as they may provide a fault-tolerant means of quantum computation. One of the simplest examples of such a spin system is Kitaev's toric code. Naaijkens made…

In this paper, we extend the characterization of $\mathbb{Z}[x]/\ < f \ >$, where $f \in \mathbb{Z}[x]$ to be a free $\mathbb{Z}$-module to multivariate polynomial rings over any commutative Noetherian ring, $A$. The characterization allows…

We get deeper understanding of the role played by boundary conditions in quantum field theory, by studying the structure of a scalar massless quantum field theory bounded by two one dimensional planar crystal plates. The system can also be…

Connections between set-theoretic Yang-Baxter and reflection equations and quantum integrable systems are investigated. We show that set-theoretic $R$-matrices are expressed as twists of known solutions. We then focus on reflection and…
